The only book that I know of Jesus having is the Book of life. It is a book in Heaven that contains the names of those who have accepted him.
Tha authors of the 4 gospels are
Matthew = Matthew - 55 A.D.

Mark = John Mark - 50 A.D.

Luke = Luke - 60 A.D.

John = John - 90 A.D.

First they where inspired by the Holy Spirit, so they are first person accounts. Each book to a different group. One (Matthew) to the Jews,One (Luke) to the Greeks,One (Mark) to the Romans,One (John) to the True Believers. As for the Gospel of Jesus you have it, its called the Bible.

There are very little if any first person accounts of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Those who did write the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament were inspired by the Holy Spirit. St. Paul referred to it as having the mind of Christ. The only book Jesus talks about is the Book of Life. You would want to have your name in that book. Jesus keeps it close to his heart.

John's account is a first hand account. He was arguably Jesus' closest disiple. He also wrote the book of Revelations. The other gospels were written by men who could most accurately be described as reporters. Their accounts are very fact driven, as they did much research and interviewing to acuire their accounts. THey were also done independantly from each other. The reason they are all included is to show four separate accounts (one first hand, and three unbiased third party), so we could compare the three.

As you can see, even they were all done independantly, they are very similar factually. This is one of the many reasons that people believe they are true accounts. There are also many other historical accounts (law records, etc) that validate a great deal of these accounts.

Jesus himself never wrote an account of His experiences (that we know of).

The gospels are each written by the author by the title of the gospel. There is no gospel writen by Jesus, because it would violate the rules regarding testimony. (See Deuteronomy 17:6, 19:5 and Matt 18:6) In John 10:24, Jesus is asked to tell the Jews plainly whether or not he is the Christ. But Jesus would not violate the rules regarding testimony. In John 8:17, 18, "It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me."

The Bible is the Gospel of Jesus...


Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 He was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
Joh 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
Joh 1:5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

First hand accounts. Jesus wrote in the dirt on one occasion, other than that through his prophets throughout the writing of the bible.

these are actually first person accounts. these are men who walked with Jesus. they were his disciples. Jesus never wrote an autobiography. he obviously didn't need to. 2000 years later, people are still believing in him through the first hand accounts of His disciples.

I don't remember which it is, but either luke or john was written by that person but with much help and dictation from Peter.

this is the Muslim question too.we need to understand just what happened.all the books claim to be about His life and times but they all differ with each other! im asking if they were inspired than inspired by who? and on who's authority?because if it was God than we are right in questioning how come they dont match? and trust me you will get no satisfying answer,Ive tried.
